If you are not actually renting the second home, it is not an Investment Property, until you sell it. The Sale would be entered under the 'Investment' section.
It is a second home (retirement home, for example). You did not purchase it with the intent of renting it.
Claim the mortgage interest and property taxes as you do for your main home.
There are no tax consequences until you sell the home, or later decide to actually rent it.
